Paul Weller - All You Need Is Love

2008-07-06T14:52:00.004+01:00

Those lucky souls who managed to get tickets for last nights show at Koko, Camden, for the iTunes Festival witnessed a real good 'un. Paul was on top form, full of energy and banter and with a set-list that had 'crowd pleaser' written all over it. What we now know as the Weller 'standards' were all there, along with several numbers from '22 Dreams' - 'Sea Spray' was particularly impressive. Of course, after all the recent David Cameron clamouring for 'yoof cred' with his comment about 'Eton Rifles' being one of his fave tracks, Paul reclaimed it for its rightful owners with a blistering version as part of the set climax. A rousing version of 'All You Need Is Love' pretty much said it all, with smiles onstage and off - everyone happy after a perfect evening's entertainment.

As with the iTunes festival performances, the shows are recorded and a live EP taken from the set will be available to download as an iTunes exclusive. No confirmed release date as yet but it will be pretty soon and we will let you know as soon as we do.

Show highlights will also be broadcast on TV in the next few weeks and, once again, when we know we pass the information on.

Paul Weller: 22 Dreams - Out Monday

2008-05-30T23:02:00.004+01:00

Following hot on the heels of this weeks release of 'Have You Made Up Your Mind'/'Echoes Round The Sun' we can now look to clear the decks for next Monday when '22 Dreams' is released.

The album draws heavily on the full breadth of Paul's 30 plus year career in music and the influences are diverse and spectacular from introspective acoustic moments to full out psychedelic blowouts. It's the work of a man who is determined to discard any self-imposed limiters as the five star awarding review from The Observer notes:

"The trad rocker's ninth solo album embraces everything from Krautrock to jazz..... it's brilliant" - The Observer.

In traditional terms, it's a double album with 21 tracks as follows:

Light Nights/22 Dreams/All I Wanna Do (Is Be With You)/Have You Made Up Your Mind/Empty Ring/Invisible/Song For Alice/Cold Moments/Dark Pages of September Lead To The New Leaves of Spring/Black River/Why Walk When You Can Run/Push It Along/Dream Reprise/Echoes Round The Sun/One Bright Star/Lullaby Fur Kinder/Where'er Ye Go/God/111/Sea Spray/Night Lights

It comes in three different formats: a standard one disc CD;
DELUXE EDITION - a deluxe boxed edition with booklet and two CD's, the first featuring the standard album and the second, a selection of alternative takes, demo's etc on certain album tracks plus others;
VINYL VERSION - and for vinyl junkies, it comes packaged as a double album

You can currently hear the album in its entirety on http://zaphod.uk.vvhp.net/click/6292332-59470/www.nme.com/artists/paul-weller. You can also hear 30 second excerpts from each track whenever you visit http://www.paulweller.com/

Paul Weller: All The Pictures On The Wall

2008-05-26T23:36:00.003+01:00

Video: All The Pictures On The Wall, live from Sonaria Italy 1995

Paul Weller: All The Pictures On The Wall - Lyrics

And all the pictures on the wall
Serve only to remind you of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Now we're left with nothing left to give
There was a time I really loved you
But when that was I just can't say
As all the memories merge into one
As each day becomes each day

The clock hands ticking on the wall
Are just reminders of it all
The wasted days we could have lived
Now we're left with nothing left to give

We used to meet each others' eyes
And that's all we'd have to say
Now we don't talk that much at all
The further our eyes seem to stray

And in a funny kind of way
This empty room was full one day
Full of love that we once shared - now it all looks so bare
The silent walls whose cracks I feel -
But is there room to let the hatred heal?

Crisis Consequences

2008-04-20T09:08:00.006+01:00

Beth Ditto, The Enemy, Pearl Lowe, Paul Weller, Supergrass, Graham Coxon, New Young Pony Club, Drew McConnell, Andy Rourke and Ed Harcourt join Crisis to fight homelessness.

Uniting the great and the good of indie rock, Crisis is pioneering a track/gig combo with a twist, all based around the game ‘consequences’.

The track will be released in April and is available for pre-order now. By buying it, you wil not only be listening to a piece of history, but you‘ll be helping a homeless person unlock their potential and rebuild their life.

Crisis Consequences is sponsored by Drinkaware. Many people become homeless as result of dependency on alcohol which has started in their early teens. By working together to make young people aware of the consequences of alcohol misuse, we hope to help prevent dependency and the possibility of homelessness in later life.

The Style Council - Long Hot Summer

Video: The Style Council - Long Hot Summer
Live in Japan (1984)

Lyrics: The Style Council - Long Hot Summer

I play out my role
Why Ive even been out walking
They tell me that it helps
But I know when Im beaten
All those lonely films
And all those lonely parties
But now the feeling is off-screen
An the tears for real not acted, anymore

Im all mixed up inside
I want to run but I cant hide
And however much we try
We cant escape the truth and the fact is

Dont matter what I do
It dont matter what I do
Dont matter what I do
Dont matter what I do
Dont matter what I do
cause I end up hurting you

One more covered sigh
And one more glance you know means goodbye
Cant you see thats why
Were dashing ourselves against the rocks of a lifetime

(in my mind different voices call)
What once was pleasure nows pain for us all
(in my heart only shadows fall)
I once stood proud now I feel so small
(I dont know whether to laugh or cry)
The long hot summer just passed me by

Live at Southbank 1997

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Up In Suzes' Room

Yellow strands mingle into red
Warm air blows, down upon her soft bed
She licks my face and the feeling spreads
I'm up in Suzes' room - flowers bloom-ing-ful
I'm up in Suzes' room - where life goes so soon

She's anything that you can call free
She's everything that she wants to be
She has everything that you could want to see
I'm up in Suzes' room - flowers full in bloom
I'm up in Suzes' room - where time goes so soon
Soon, against the moon
A big sky paints - but she calls the tunes
She's cool that way - how I wish it could stay
Forever that way

No one moves - no one can
When luck rolls its' coins, they land where they stand
To make us everything that you never planned
I'm up in Suzes' room - people bloom-ing-ful
Up in Suzes' room - where life goes so soon

Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

From the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

From the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the guys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Yeah, just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Oh darling
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Just like me, they long to be
Just like me, they long to be
Just like me, they long to be

From: JBtheManchesterMod (YouTube)

Lyrics: The Jam - Fly

The way that sunlight flits across your skirt,
Makes me feel I’m from another world,
To touch your face in the morning light.
I hope you’re always gonna be around.
The times I struggle to understand why,
The ancient proverbs like who am i?
Why am I here and what have I done?
I see the answer’s place my trust in you

Trust in you love, be with me then,
That’s when I want you, that’s when I need you the most.

I want us to be like peter pan
But dreams it seems are weightless as sand,
And man’s supposedly is made of sand
It seems that man cannot survive at all

Let’s disappear love, let’s fly away
Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone
The times inside I spent screaming at you
Release me please from this mortal jail
One shrug or smile can determine my fate,
I’m lost for days and have myself to blame

Something I’m giving, is yours for the taking,
Something like sunlight, love is a spotlight
Love is all sorrow, still I’ll meet you tomorrow
And look forward to see you, now I can’t live without you

Lyric: Paul Weller - Sunflower

I don't care how long this lasts
We have no future, we have no past
I write this now while I'm in control
I'll choose the words and how the melody goes,
Along winding streets we walked hand in hand
And how I long for that sharp wind
To take my breath away again
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Hair like a wheatfield I'd run through
That I'd run through -
And I miss you so - I miss you so
No you're gone I feel so alone
I miss you so
I'd send you a flower - a sunflower bright
`Cause you cloud my days messing up my nights
And all the way up to the top of your head
Sunshower kisses I felt we had
And I miss you so - Oh baby I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I miss you so, I do
But I miss you so - Oh darling I miss you so
Now your gone, I feel so low - oh I said I miss you so, I do
All I gotta do is think of you - and I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - I miss you so
Baby I'm... I`m afraid to say why - Oh I miss you so

Paul Weller turns 50 this May: A cutting from March issue of MOJO

Paul Weller: The Changingman

Video: Paul Weller - The Changingman

Lyrics: Paul Weller - The Changingman

Is happiness real?
Or am I so jaded
I can't see or feel - like a man been tainted
Numbed by the effect - aware of the muse
Too in touch with myself - I light the fuse

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands
I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-
As I light a bitter fuse

Time is on loan - only ours to borrow
What I can't be today - I can be tomorrow

And the more I see - the more I know
The more I know - the less I understand.

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands
I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-
To light a bitter fuse

It's a bigger part -
When our instincts act
A shot in the dark -
A movement in black

And the more I see - the more I know
The more I know - the less I understand.

I'm the changingman - built on shifting sands
(I don't have a plan)
I'm the changingman - waiting for the bang-
To light a bitter fuse

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Its Written in the Stars

it’s written in the wind
that we’re two
carved out in the sand
that we’re real
it’s lit up in the stars
that we’re true
we’re destined in the sky
to be glad

we’re hopelessly informed
that we’re meant
we’re conscious of the fact
that we’re supposed
to be so sure
and we are
we’re driven by the
rain to act

we’re suspect to the laws
passed for real
when we’re the realest
thing we’ve seen
taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
we work for love

and it’s written in the stars
meant for us
soaked into the sand
made by time
taken by the hand from above
I really do feel
that we work for love

it’s written in the wind
that we’re two
carved out in the sand
that we’re real
it’s lit up in the stars
that we’re true
we’re destined in the sky
to be glad

The Style Council - The Lodgers (Live): '87 Japan Tour

2008-02-10T15:24:00.000Z

Live in Japan, 1987.

Video: The Style Council - The Lodgers (Live)

Lyrics: The Style Council - The Lodgers

No peace for the wicked - only war on the poor
They're batting on pickets - trying to even the score
It's all inclusive - the dirt comes free
And you can be all that you want to be
Oh an equal chance and an equal pay
But equally there's no equal pay
There's room on top - if you tow the line
And if you believe all this you must be out of your mind

There's only room for those the same
Those who play the leeches game
Don't get settled in this place
The lodger's terms are in disgrace

Getcha brains blown out - in a captain's mess
Stand for the queen if you can stand the test
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be

Oh if you work hard you can be the boss
But if you don't work at all then that's nobody's loss
There's room on top - if you dig in low
And the idea is what they reap you sow

With an old school tie and a reference
You can cover up crimes in their defence
It's all thrown in and the lies come free
And you can be all that they want you to be

Live performance by Paul Weller of Can You Heal Us (Holy Man) on The Late Show broadcast on BBC in 1994.

Video: Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)

Lyrics: Can You Heal Us (Holy Man)

Crystal words that hang so fine - But none will stop us falling
Pulling faster all the time - Powerless to warnings
If you feel the hand of God - Can you guide it holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement
Still saying! Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Everybody gets their time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you

Split the Father and the Son - Hand words to ease them
If you have the hand of God - Can you heal us holy man?
But you are only flesh and blood - Waiting too for judgement

Still saying!
Hang on tight hang on strong
How much longer can this go on
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing set to confuse

Daddy don't weep Momma don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me
I'll do the same for you.

Can you bring the hand of God?
Can you stop the killing?
Get us back to hope and love - Never more be needed -

Still saying!
Bloods gone bad bad to worse
Worse to bad and back again
But don't be sad don't be blue - It's one more thing sent to confuse

Momma don't weep Daddy don't cry
Every fear must have its time
Don't be sad don't be blue - Pray for me I'll do the same for you.

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Out Of The Sinking

Past midnight's hold -
Where the world's awaiting -
I'll wait for you love -
But I close my eyes, as there's pain too in paradise -
Hey baby say - just what you're thinking -
Know I know it - yeh, feel I'm sinking -
Know I feel it - I know you feel it too -
Across the water, there's a boat that -
will take us away.

It is shining for me
All I need to be
But I can't find the key
The one to make me believe-

Late at night -
When the world is dreaming -
Way past the stars -
That ignore our fate & all twinkle too late to save us -
so we save ourselves.

Hey baby say - just what you're thinking
Know I know it - yeh, feel I'm sinking
Know I feel it - I know you feel it too -
Across the water, there's a boat that -
Will take us away -

Far from the madness - out of the sadness
Into sunlight - out of the sinking -
You know I feel it,
I know you it too -
Across the water, there's a boat that will take us away -
And there we will stay

It's not important for you to know my name
Nor I to know yours
If we communicate for two minutes only
It will be enough!
For knowing that someone in this world
Feels as desperate as me
And what you give is what you get
It doesn't matter if we never meet again
What we have said will always remain
If we get through for two minutes only
It will be a start!
For knowing that someone in this life
Loves with a passion called hate
And what you give is what you get
If I never ever see you
If I never ever see you
If I never ever see you... again
And what you give is what you get

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Wild Blue Yonder

Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
backing it up, leaving it all behind.

Lets go loving like we know we all are,
lets go loving like we know we all are,
lets go loving like we know we all are,
backing it up, leaving it all behind.

While we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
while we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
while we're thinking 'bout thinking it over,
the world has turned, another day has gone.

I wonder who I am,
and what you really think about me.
I wonder who you are,
and what I really feel to you.

Lets go loving in the wild green clover,
lets go loving in the wild green clover,
lets go loving in the wild green clover,
the world has turned, another day has passed.

Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.

Lets go sailing,
lets go sailing,
lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.
Lets go sailing in the wild blue yonder.
Lets go sailing.

Lyrics: I Forgot To Be Your Lover (William Bell)

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Well, if I didn't darling, I'm sorry
Did I reach out and hold you in my loving arms
Oh, when you needed me?
Now I realize that you need love, too
And I'll spend my life making love to you

Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burden that love will fare?
And have I done the little simple things to show you
Just how much I care?
Oh, I've been workin' for you, doin' all I can
To work all the time didn't make me a man

Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you somehow, baby
I forgot to be your lover
Gonna make it up to you somehow
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby
I forgot to be your lover
If you forgive me, I'll make it up to you
I'm only a man, and I forgot to be ....

Lyrics: Paul Weller - The Start Of Forever

Hold tight angel
Morning will soon be here
Washing your pillow
In swathes of gold and red

Our time is waiting
In the wings of uncertainty
Our love is waking
You’re born to be with me

I know it takes
To the start of forever
That’s a long time -such a long time
To be waiting
In the sun

Your soul so peaceful
How could I have been so mean
Feel I’ve been sleeping
Might have looked
but I’ve never seen

Your beauty takes
To the start of forever
That’s a long time - such a long time
To be waiting
In the sun

Feel I’ve been sleeping
I’m born to be with you

To the start of forever
It’s the start of forever
It’s a long time - such a long time
To be waiting - in the sun

Lyrics: Paul Weller - Wild Wood

High tide - mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing - where you're blowing
Getting to where, you should be going.
Don't let, them get you down
Making you feel, guilty about
Golden rain, bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now.

Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out - of the wild, wild wood
Now theres no justice
There's only yourself - that you can trust in
And I said - high tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing - just where you're blowing
Getting to where, you should be going

Day by day, your world fades away
Waiting to feel - all the dreams that say
Golden rain, will bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now - and I say
Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out - of the wild, wild wood.

Paul Weller: Biography

2008-01-22T21:48:00.000Z

Paul Weller (born John William Weller 25 May 1958, in Sheerwater, near Woking, Surrey) is an English singer-songwriter.

Weller was the leader and creator behind the formation of two successful bands, The Jam and The Style Council, before starting a successful solo career. He has remained essentially a national rather than an international star, probably because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture. He is also the principal figure of the Mod revival and is often called the Modfather.

Weller was born into a working-class family. His father worked in the building trade as a scaffolder and a bricklayer, and his mother worked as a cleaner. Weller was brought up in Stanley Road, Woking in a Victorian council house, which had an outside toilet but neither hot running water nor central heating.

Early life
Weller was not academically minded and he disliked the discipline and routine of school; however, he keenly read the lyrics on pop music records and watched Top of the Pops on the television. From about 10 years old he was interested in playing in a band, and when he was 12 years old his family gave him a guitar, which he learned to play from a few basic music lessons and by playing along to music. In 1973, at the age of 14 years, Weller performed his first gig, which was at Walton Road Working Man's Club, with his friend Steve Brooks, who helped to form The Jam. They had a regular Wednesday evening slot there and they played cover music to a very small audience. As a teenager, he began to realise that a career in pop music would be ideal when a gig the band played in the lunch hour at his school was successful and popular with girl pupils. The band played in social clubs, working man's clubs and pubs in Surrey and London for about five years, with his father as manager always keen to promote the band and take care of the organisation. They attracted a good following, which was particularly noticeable when they played for three weeks at a pub called the "Red Cow" (now rebuilt and renamed Latymers) in Hammersmith, and increasing numbers of people attended to the extent that queues formed. The Jam were signed by Polydor Records in 1977 for £6,000, at a time when they were short of money, and later in 1977 The Jam performed on Top of the Pops.

Personal life:
Soon after the formation of the Style Council, Weller and Dee C. Lee, Style Council's backing singer, formed a romantic relationship. The couple married, and have two children. The couple are now divorced. Weller has five children in total: two with Lee, one from a short relationship, and two with his current partner.

Weller has a good relationship with his father and appreciates his practical approach and honest opinions. When Weller's father's health began to fail in 2003–4 he retired from being Weller's manager; nevertheless, Weller still welcomes his opinions.

Weller is a fan of Chelsea F.C. and can regularly be spotted at their games.

Paul Weller declined to receive a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours list of 2006.

Career
The Jam
The Style Council
Solo career
Legacy
-Three of Weller's songs - two Style Council numbers and one song from The Jam - appeared on the soundtrack to the film Billy Elliot.
-His influence upon the 1990s generation of British guitar bands, coupled with his love of 1960's Mod-era music, had earned him the affectionate nickname "The Modfather". In 1995 he collaborated with Noel Gallagher and Paul McCartney to form a one-off 'super group' called The Smokin' Mojo Filters, releasing a charity version of The Beatles' hit "Come Together" in aid of Bosnian children.
-The Style Council came in at No. 97, Weller as a solo artist at No. 21 and The Jam at No. 5 in British national radio station Virgin Radio's poll in December 2002 to find the top 100 British artists of all time.
-In February 2006, Paul Weller received the Lifetime Achievement award at the BRIT Awards. At the presentation, he played his solo tracks "From The Floorboards Up", "Come On"/"Let's Go", "The Changingman" and also The Jam's "Town Called Malice".
-With Steve White, Weller also set up a website called checkemlads.com following a chat with a fan Philly Morris who was going through cancer treatment in 2003.
-In 1983, The Jam broke The Beatles' record of seven singles in the Top 100 simultaneously. The Jam placed 14 singles in the same week. This happened when Polydor rushed to re-release their entire back catalogue following the split.
-Paul Weller's career features strongly in the Arts. In film, The Style Council song Have You Ever Had It Blue featured in the film Absolute Beginners starring Patsy Kensit, Eddie O'Connell and David Bowie; The Jam song Town Called Malice is used in the film Billy Elliot starring Jamie Bell; The Weller solo song You Do Something to Me appears in The Truth About Cats & Dogs starring Uma Thurman and the Paul Weller song Everything Has a Price to Pay is heard in the film Face starring Robert Carlyle, Ray Winstone and Phil Davies. On television The Jam song News of the World is the theme tune to Mock The Week whilst the Jack Dee comedy Lead Balloon includes One Way Road written by Noel Gallagher performed by Paul Weller. There are numerous books written about Paul Weller's career and even in the world of fiction the 2004 Lad lit novel 'You Are Here' includes a character, Dave Holliman, who is a big Weller fan and there are numerous references to The Jam and Style Council.

Paul Weller: Savages

2008-01-22T21:23:00.000Z

Video: Paul Weller playing Savages at Jools Hooland Later show 06

Lyrics: Savages

you're savages, he knows you are..
do you not think that god is looking down?
on you savages.. the children run, to mothers
you put bullets in their backs
ah cowards, can you not see
do you not think that love is coming down?

you have no gods, they have all disowned you,
you have no love, so you take it out on,
people's lives in progress,
that's what keeps you going when you're savages

savages, you can dress it up,
give it a name and a fancy uniform
and a flag to fly to hide behind,
can you not see the truth that's on the ground

you have no love,
it has all gone cold on you,
you never have, so you take it out on
those whose love is growing,
that's what you hate most, when you're savages

do you not see the love is coming down?

Woodcutters Son - Paul Weller

2008-01-21T12:24:00.000Z

Video: Woodcutters Son - Paul Weller

Lyrics: Woodcutters Son - Paul Weller

Sugartown has turned so sour
It's people angry in their sleep
There's more small-town paranoia
Sweeping down its evil sheets -

You can tell it's witching hour
You can feel the spirits rise
When the room goes very quiet
And there's hatred in their eyes -

You better give me the chance
I'll cut you down with a glance
Yeh, with my small axe - so help me,
And tho' I'm only one
And tho' weak I'm strong
And if it comes to the crunch
Then I'm the woodcutter's son

And I'm cutting down the wood for the
Good of everyone!

There's a silence when I enter
And a murmur when I leave

ポール・ウェラー - Paul Weller

2008-01-19T22:30:00.000Z

ポール・ウェラー（Paul Weller、本名John William Weller、1958年5月25日-）はイギリスのミュージシャン。ザ･ジャム、スタイル・カウンシルを経てソロ活動に。愛用ギターはエピフォン・カジノ（2PUタイプ）とギブソンSG。

略歴 - Bio
1977年にザ・ジャムのボーカリスト、ギタリストとしてデビュー。当時流行のパンク／ニューウェーブの人気バンドとなった。ザ・ジャムはポール・ウェラーの生まれた町ロンドン郊外サリー、ウォキングでビートルズなどのカバーなどをしていたパーティ・バンドであった。結成当時はポールがベース、ブルース・フォックストンとスティーブ・ブルックスがギター、リック・バクラーがドラムスというフォーピースであったが、スティーブの脱退と共にポールがギターを、ブルースがベースを担当するようになる。セックス・ピストルズのライブにインスパイアされ、モータウンなどのR&Bを高速で演奏するスタイルになっていき、やがてオリジナル中心になり、1977年4月29日にファースト・シングルIn The Cityをリリース、いきなりナショナルチャート入りを果たす。1980年3月には10枚目のシングルGoing Undergroundを全英チャート#1に送り込み、名実共に全英＃１バンドとなった。ポールの音楽志向はこの後、よりR&B、ファンクをはじめとする多様な音楽展開を見せ、1982年3月リリースの6枚目そして最期のアルバムThe Giftでは大胆なホーンセクションの導入などより黒くなっていった。モータウンへのレスペクトをダイレクトにあらわしたシングルTown Called Malliceも全英チャート#1（三枚目）となったが、もはやThe Jamであることの意義がなくなったため、わずか6年という短い期間ではあったが、その頂点でポールはザ・ジャムを解散することとなる。最期のギグは1982年12月11日にModsの聖地であるブライトンで行われた。

より黒さを追求するウェラーはネオ・モッズ・バンドマートン・パーカスのオルガンプレイヤーであるミック・タルボットとともにスタイル・カウンシルを結成。1983年5月にファースト･シングルSpeak Like A Childを発表、ザ・ジャム時代のファンを大きく裏切るソウル・R&Bの影響が濃いブラック・コンテンポラリー的な音楽性にシフトし、硬派なイメージだったジャム時代とは打って変わってPOPなイメージで人気を博した。しかしながらそのイメージとは反対に、歌詞は当時のサッチャー体制に対してラディカルなもので政治指向をより明確にした。スタイル・カウンシルはアルバムOur Favourite Shopを1985年にUKチャート#1にするが、その後その音楽の多様性により方向性を見失い、ハウス色の強いアルバムModernism-A New Decadeを製作するもポリドールからリリースを拒否され、終には1989年には解散する。

1991年にはポール・ウェラー・ムーブメント名義でソロ最初のシングルInto TomorrowをFreedom Highレーベルを立ち上げ自主制作リリース、ライブ活動をザ･ジャム、TSC時代には考えられなかった小さなホールやクラブで行なった。スタイル・カウンシル時代には決して演奏しなかったザ・ジャム時代の曲も演奏している。日本でもクラブチッタ川崎などでクラブ・サーキットを行った。 1992年、自身の名前を冠したソロアルバムを日本のポニーキャニオンより発表。イギリス本国ではレコード契約ができず、日本に遅れること約半年後Go!Discsより発表。当時彼は本国ではメインストリームではなく、完全にマイナー・アーティスト扱いであったが日本では本国よりもヒットした。 1995年にはソロ時代初の#1アルバムStanley Roadを発表、完全復活を果たした。その後も定期的にアルバムを発表し、ザ・フー、スモール・フェイセズ、トラフィック、ニール・ヤング、ドクター・ジョンなどにインスパイアされたルーツ・ミュージック色の濃い作品も発表するようになった。オアシスやブラー、オーシャン・カラー・シーンなど彼をリスペクトする若い層もでてきており、イギリスを代表するロック・アーティストとしての地位を確立している。 2006年にはブリット・アウォーズで功労賞を受賞。ザ・ジャム時代の曲もパフォーマンスしてみせた。

The Jam - When You're Young

2008-01-19T12:34:00.000Z

The Jam - When You're Young - Original Music video

"The footage in the park was filmed in Queen's Park, in north west London, England. The footage showing the high road is Kilburn High Road and the footage of the escalator was filmed in Kilburn Square which is almost directly opposite Woolworth.
The escalator has long since been removed (it was out of order most of the time!) and the filming took place in June or July 1979."

The Jam - When You're Young (lyrics)

Life is timeless, days are long when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum
Life is a drink and you get drunk when you're young
Life is new and there's things to be done
You can't wait to be grown up
Acceptance into the capital world
You pull out some weed and the bullets are warm when you're young

But you find out life isn't like that
It's so hard to comprehend
Why you set up your dreams to have them smashed in the end

But you don't mind you've got time on your side
And they're never gonna make you stand in line
You're just waiting for the right time

You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You swear you're never ever gonna work for someone
No corporations for the new age sons
Tears of rage run down your face
But still you say "it's love"

And you find out life isn't like that
It's so hard to understand
Why the world is your oyster but your future's a clam

It's got you in its grip before you're born
It's done with the use of a dice and a board
They let you think you're king but you're really a pawn

You're fearless and brave - you can't be stopped when you're young
You used to fall in love with everyone
Any guitar and any bass drum

The Style Council - Wanted (The Roxy 1987)

2008-01-07T18:23:00.000Z

Live on The Roxy - Tyne Tees Studios, England, 1987.

Video: The Style Council - Wanted

Wanted (lyrics)

There's a girl in my office
She keeps on stopping
Right in front of my eyes
Though I try and try
I can't hide anymore
Letting my feelings speak for me

But when I try to speak
My tongue gets weak
I stay the lonely man I am

Why should it be
That my heart's under lock
And I can't find the key
Tell me, why should it seem
That I'm diving inside without making a try

Why oh, well I only want to be wanted

There's a girl in my dreams
Working nights on my scenes
Till she has me in little bits

There's a time and a place
But it moves at a pace
And I can't seem to keep in time

There's a word for the way
But no words can I say
So a lonely man I stay

Why should it be
I confess that it's hard
turning hopes into dreams but -
Why did I see
You cocoon yourself nights
Finding soup in your flies

Oh, I only to be wanted

Why should it be
That my heart's under lock
And I can't find the key
Tell me, why should it seem
That I'm diving inside without making a try

Why oh, well I only want to be wanted

Dee C. Lee - See the day (lyrics)

When you look at me
tell me what you see

Do you see no love at all?
Or do you see in me what you always see
In ev'ry girl that you fall for?
I will show you how love is meant to be

Just watch and learn and listen to me.

Will you ever see the day?
Heartache leads astray

Good love will always come from me.
Will you ever learn to love without a little doubt?
Good love will always come from me.

When look away
is it mean to say
That she haunts you night and day?
And does it hurt your heart when I say:
Let's start to heal the part that's been torn?
Don't you see that I
I'm really worth a try?
And I say to you I know just what to do.
Will you ever see the day?...

Will you ever see the day?...
Will you ever see the day?...

Paul Weller - Heavy Soul

2007-12-27T16:12:00.000Z

Live in NPA Paris, France.

Video: Paul Weller - Heavy Soul

Heavy Soul (lyrics)

We’re words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
At the birth of a dream
Vapors passing really
So I’m touched by the thoughts
In the fleeting minutes after
The time that we’ve come
Come and go, you know, where the wind blows
An’ though I couldn’t define
I can only tell you that i
Got a heavy soul

Tuesdays dressed in shearling
Anchored on belief
In the sunlight on the water
Or rain upon a leaf
And I’m touched by its’ beauty
And I hope to touch you too
’cause I still seek the same things
That I once sought to be true
And you know, that where the wind blows
Tho’ I wouldn’t be lying, when I tell you that i
Got a heavy soul
It’s a joy to know
I’ve got a heavy soul

We’re words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
Everything is what it seems
Vapors passing nearly
So I’m touched by the thought
That I can’t be beaten and I can’t be bought
And you’ll know..........
That where the wind blows
I don’t think I’d be lyin’
When I tell you that i
I’ve got a heavy soul

Do They Know Its Christmas? - Band Aid - Lyrics

It's Christmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging
chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

repeat then fade

(Bob Geldof & Midge Ure)

Mermaids (lyrics)

She's in my head
She's in my mind
And I'm all she says
Yes she knows me well
As well as you can
She's on my side
I often hide
In her magic hair
And there I learn again - the joy of life
The wonder of it all
And this I feel - that through her I learn
Another way to be

You take my breath, I feel consumed
Take it all - I want to know
What lies behind - your smiles and shells
Wish I knew you well

Come in my head
Come in my mind
You can only love, when you open up
To be yourself

Paul Weller: All Good Books

2007-12-11T11:06:00.000Z

Video: Paul Weller - All Good Books

From: Paul Weller - Two Classic Performances DVD
Live - Route Of Kings / Later... With Jools Holland

Synopsis
Former Jam/Style Council frontman Paul Weller is featured here belting out classic songs from his back catalogue. The first set features his full band live in Hyde Park, London and this is followed by a special acoustic performance from Jools Holland's Later.. television show.

All Good Books (lyrics)

If Jesus could hear us now
bending all his words
of which he's proud
but the carpenter was only
making invitations
voicing the opinions of others

sending down a word
that travels well
only as a vessel
as a bell
and the violence you've mistaken
in the words you took to be taken
and the images of hatred
against all that we're worth
all that you love
all that you give
all we hold dear

If Mohammed could see us now
shaking down the walls
but not as prayer
and the power games that play out
and the lies that come within out
against all we are worth
all we hold dear
all that is true
all that we love
all we dream of
all that you give

The Style Council: Live Aid 1985

Video: The Style Council: Live Aid 1985

Internationalist (lyrics)

If you believe you have an equal share
In the whole wide world and all it bears
An' that your share is no less or more than
Your fellow sisters and brother man
Then take this knowledge and with it insist
Declare yourself - an internationalist!
If you lay no blame at the feet of next door
An' realise this struggle is also yours
An' that without the strength of us altogether
The world as it stands will remain forever
Then take this challenge and make it exist!
Rise up as - an internationalist!

If your eyes see deeper than the colour of skin
Then you must also see we are the same within
An' the rights you expect are the rights of all
Now it's up to you to lead the call
That liberty must come at the top of the list
Stand proud as - an internationalist!

If you see the mistake in having bosses at all
You will also see how they all must fall
For under this system there is no such thing
As the Democracy our leaders would have us sing
No time for lies now as only truth must persist
Rise up now and declare yourself - An Internationalist!

Walls Come Tumbling Down (lyrics)

You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know we've always been taught to rely
Upon those in authority -
But you never know until you try
How things just might be -
If we came together so strongly

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change -
YES an' walls can come tumbling down!

Governments crack and systems fall
'cause Unity is powerful -
Lights go out - walls come tumbling down!

The competition is a colour TV
We're on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slave to the H.P.

Until the Unity is threatend by
Those who have and who have not -
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot -
Until you don't know where you are

Are you gonna realize
The class war's real and not mythologized
And like Jericho - You see walls can come tumbling down!

Are you gonna be threatend by
The public enemies No. 10 -
Those who play the power game
They take the profits - you take the blame -
When they tell you there's no rise in pay

Are you gonna try an' make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt -
You see things CAN change -
YES an' walls can come tumbling down!

The Paris Match (lyrics)

Empty hours
Spent combing the street
In daytime showers
They’ve become my beat;
As I walk from cafe to bar
I wish I knew where you are;
Because you’ve clouded my mind
And now I’m all out of time
Empty skies say try to forget
Better advice is to have no regrets;
As I tread the boulevard floor
Will I see once more;
Because you’ve clouded my mind
’till then I’m biding my time

I’m only sad in a natural way
And I enjoy sometimes feeling this way
The gift you gave is desire
The match that started my fire

Empty nights with nothing to do
I sit and think, every thought is for you;
I get so restless and bored
So I go out once more;
I hate to feel so confined
I feel like I’m wasting my time

Gibson: The Robot Guitar

2007-12-03T21:14:00.000Z

A First Run Limited Edition

On December 7, 2007, Gibson will change the guitar world forever. Again.

True to the spirit of innovation that inspired Gibson to invent the legendary Tune-o-matic bridge, the powerful humbucker, and the revolutionary Digital Les Paul, Gibson proudly presents the Gibson Robot Guitar—the world's first guitar with robotic technology.

Since the dawn of the instrument, musicians have come to accept the guitar's imperfections and lack of tonal precision as necessary evils. Onstage and off, guitarists have fought to stay in tune. Every music lover and performer has had to suffer through the show—halting, mood-killing atonal droning of a loudly amped guitar being brought into tune. And in the studio, or at home, imprecise intonation throws the guitar in and out of tune, up and down the neck, as the instrument requires tweaking with each season and at times with each string change.

For as long as the guitar has existed, guitar lovers have had two choices—live with a temperamental and out-of-tune instrument or make frequent trips to the shop for setups. Not anymore.

Introducing the Gibson Robot Guitar. All you have to do is play it.

In Select Stores December 7, 2007
First Run Limited Edition, only 10 per store

Japanese:

世界初の“ロボットギター” ギブソン社より発売

2007年12月７日、ギブソンがギターの概念をまたしても覆します。

ギブソンでは、これまでにもチューン・オー・マチック・ブリッジやハムバッカー、革新的なデジタル・レス・ポールなど、数々の歴史に残る商品を世に送り出してきました。そんなアイディアと革新性に富んだギブソンが生みだしたのが、世界初となるロボット工学のテクノロジー搭載の新製品、「ギブソン・ロボットギター」です。

この世に楽器が誕生して以来、ミュージシャンたちはギターの不完全さを受け入れ、チューニングに時間を費やしてきました。ギタリストたちは常にチューニングを気にしながら、最高潮に達したムードに水を差すように演奏を中断しなければならず、観客たちはおの間、チューニングの音を我慢して聞いているしかありませんでした。また、スタジオや自宅でも、イントネーショその狂いがチューニングやネックの上下に影響を与えるため、季節ごとに調整し、弦を張り替えなくてはなりませんでした

これまでなら、ギター・プレーヤーに残された選択肢は二つだけでした。チューニングの外れたギターでも我慢するか、ショップへ頻繁に足を運び、調整してもらうか。でももう、そんなことで悩む必要はありません。

ギブソン・ロボットギターなら、あなたはただプレーするだけでＯＫです

2007年12月7日より一部ショップにて限定販売開始

Paul Weller: The Changing Man, by Paolo Hewitt

2007-12-03T10:57:00.000Z

Book details

Hardcover: 304 pages
Publisher: Bantam Press (24 Sep 2007)
Language English
Dimensions: 23.4 x 15.4 x 4 cm

Synopsis
Paolo Hewitt has known Paul Weller since they were both teenagers in the depths of Woking, through his ascent to fame with The Jam, the halcyon years of The Style Council and for all of his critically acclaimed solo career. Hewitt has even been the inspiration for some of Weller's songs - and he has extraordinary in-depth knowledge of the inspiration behind the rest. Once, when Hewitt interviewed Weller for a music magazine, he complained - 'I don't know why people ask me all these questions. All the answers are in my songs.' Largely unnoticed, Weller has used thirty-years of lyrics to explore his personal history and beliefs. Taking as his starting point these lyrics, alongside a lifetime's friendship, Paolo Hewitt shows us the real Paul Weller, the man inside the music.

Tales From The Riverbank (lyrics)

Bring you a tale from the pastel fields
Where we ran when we were young
This is a tale from the water meadows
Trying to spread some hope into your heart
It’s mixed with happiness - it’s mixed with tears
Both life a death are carried in this stream
That open space you could run for miles
Now you don’t get so many to the pound

True it’s a dream mixed with nostalgia
But it’s a dream that I’ll always hang on to
That I’ll always run to
Won’t you join me by the riverbank

Paradise found down by the still waters
Joined in the race to the rainbow’s end
No fears no worries just a golden country
Woke at sunrise, went home at sunset

Now life is so critical, life is too cynical
We lose our innocence, we lose our very soul

True it’s a dream mixed with nostalgia
But it’s a dream that I’ll always hang on to
That I’ll always run to
True it’s a dream mixed with nostalgia
But it’s a dream that I’ll always hang on to
That I always run to
Won’t you join me by the riverbank
Come on and join me by the riverbank

Paul Weller - Uh Huh Oh Yeh (lyrics)

I took a trip down boundary lane
Try an' find myself again
At least the part I left somewhere
Buried under a hedgerow near

A lazy bridge on a hot afternoon
Water glistening while it plays a tune
Cloud burst on a rainy day
Wiping all my sleep away

Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you

And in my mind I saw the place
As each memory returned to trace
Dear reminders of who I am
The very roots upon which I stand

And there they were for all to see Instant Song Lyrics
My long, lost, used to be's
And all the dreams I had to dream
Were really something, not make believe

Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you

A lazy tree by a wishing well
I wish now that I could tell
If all the dreams I used to dream
Are really something or make believe

Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool ya
Uh-huh oh-yeh! uh-huh oh-yeh!
Always there to confuse and fool you

Wild Wood (lyrics)

High tide - mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing - where you're blowing
Getting to where, you should be going.
Don't let, them get you down
Making you feel, guilty about
Golden rain, bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now.

Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out - of the wild, wild wood
Now theres no justice
There's only yourself - that you can trust in
And I said - high tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing - just where you're blowing
Getting to where, you should be going

Day by day, your world fades away
Waiting to feel - all the dreams that say
Golden rain, will bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now - and I say
Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out - of the wild, wild wood.

Paul Weller - Kosmos (lyrics)

Life's complexities trouble your rise,
As you attempt to ascend into the high,
Is there nowhere else left to run,
But to the Kosmos - men gaze - to look for heaven.

Flying high - never come down,
Flying high - don't know how to come down.

Take a ride into the soon,
Be the first one on the moon,
Take a slide - come back to earth,
But it's to the Kosmos - men dare - to look for something.

Flying high - never come down,
Flying high - don't know how to come down.

No time to spare - Destiny is here,
No time to lose - better if we choose,
Less time to share - people stop and stare,
To look for hope above the clouds - to look for heaven.

A world away, a million light years,
That's how far destruction seems,
Now our dreams are sad, slow creatures,
Dying to know - who am I? what am I?
Where am I to go?

Paul Weller: Wings of Speed (lyrics)

Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base - As I sit and wait
What visions I see.

In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,
Her boat along the way - As she comes to me

Now as the light is falling
One candle left to light the way,
Sailing home to morning
She comes to me calling,

To brighten up my darkest day,
& the world fades away..
With her smile.

Fly, on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile -

Paul Weller: Pan (lyrics)

He is not the God of creation
But he is the Lord
Of the morning light
And with his song
That floats on up
Through the daybreak
It is he that
Will stay daylong

Through the dawns early mists
That rise with the river
Through the sound of the world
Once more awake
You can feel
His presence strong
As forever as once more
The ice of night time melts

Give way the day
Give way the day
As we start again

Is he not the God of creation
Is he not the God of creation
Is he not the God of creation

Paul Weller: Wings of Speed (lyrics)

Fly on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see
As I wait for your smile.
Though my hands are tied,
My feet are bound by fate
With clay at the base - As I sit and wait
What visions I see.

In dreams, she floats on a stream,
With Jesus at the helm, the water reeds that beg,
Her boat along the way - As she comes to me

Now as the light is falling
One candle left to light the way,
Sailing home to morning
She comes to me calling,

To brighten up my darkest day,
& the world fades away..
With her smile.

Fly, on wings of speed
That will bring you home to me
I'll never be free - from the darkness I see,
As I wait for your smile -

Video: Paul Weller - Heavy Soul

Heavy Soul (lyrics)

We’re words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
At the birth of a dream
Vapors passing really
So I’m touched by the thoughts
In the fleeting minutes after
The time that we’ve come
Come and go, you know, where the wind blows
An’ though I couldn’t define
I can only tell you that i
Got a heavy soul

Tuesdays dressed in shearling
Anchored on belief
In the sunlight on the water
Or rain upon a leaf
And I’m touched by its’ beauty
And I hope to touch you too
’cause I still seek the same things
That I once sought to be true
And you know, that where the wind blows
Tho’ I wouldn’t be lying, when I tell you that i
Got a heavy soul
It’s a joy to know
I’ve got a heavy soul

We’re words upon a window
Written there in steam
In the heat of the moment
Everything is what it seems
Vapors passing nearly
So I’m touched by the thought
That I can’t be beaten and I can’t be bought
And you’ll know..........
That where the wind blows
I don’t think I’d be lyin’
When I tell you that i
I’ve got a heavy soul

Savages (lyrics)

you're savages, he knows you are..
do you not think that god is looking down?
on you savages.. the children run, to mothers
you put bullets in their backs
ah cowards, can you not see
do you not think that love is coming down?

you have no gods, they have all disowned you,
you have no love, so you take it out on,
people's lives in progress,
that's what keeps you going when you're savages

savages, you can dress it up,
give it a name and a fancy uniform
and a flag to fly to hide behind,
can you not see the truth that's on the ground

you have no love,
it has all gone cold on you,
you never have, so you take it out on
those whose love is growing,
that's what you hate most, when you're savages

do you not see the love is coming down?

Video: Liza Radley

Liza Radley (lyrics)

Liza Radley - see the girl with long hair
See her creeping ’cross summer lawns at midnight
And all the people in the town where we live say
She’s not quite right
But she don’t fit in with a small town

They just can’t understand why she’s got to be free
And for their lives only, she cries

Liza Radley - see her jump through loneliness
Liza Radley - take me when you go

And all the people in the town where we live say
She’s not quite right
But she don’t fit in with a small town

They just can’t understand why she’s got to be free
And for their lives only, she cries

Liza Radley - I pledge myself to you alone
Then she kiss my face and says love means nothing at all
She kiss my face and says life means nothing at all

Shadow of the Sun (lyrics)

Do you still feel the same way about it
Like you always said you would
Or has time re-written everything
Like you never dreamt it could
Remember when we wanted to fly forever
On a magic carpet ride
Well forever seems a long time
Cutting us down in size
No matter how hard we try -

And I could see all I had done
Just chasing dreams across the fields
In the shadow of the sun

I plan to have it all while I'm still young
And chase the fields across my dreams
In the shadow of the sun
In the shadow of the sun

Once upon a time I might have told you
But now nothing seems that plain
However much we're changing
There are some things the same
And those same things still say

And I could see all I had done
Just chasing dreams across the fields
In the shadow of the sun

I plan to have it all while I'm still young
And chase the fields across my dreams
In the shadow of the sun
In the shadow of the sun
